Parents and Guardians have to be in the loop! So, one way to do this is to have Parent Math School Days at least once a month. During a Parent Math School Day, parents get to come to the classroom and play the games with the students during math time. This allows for an authentic experience whereby parents get to see and participate in their students learning!

One way to set it up is that every classroom is doing math at the same time on Open Math Days. Parents have to sign-up and sign in and then it is planned and various activities can be organized.

Parents are struggling with the CCSSM. Idea number 2 is to give out Parent information handbooks about the CCSSM in general with information about each grade level. There are many great resources. Here are a few!

Parents are struggling with the CCSSM. Sometimes it seems like they don’t know, what to know or understand why we are teaching in this way. We have to support their learning curve so that they can support their children. In this series I will discuss how to help your parents help their children.

Way 1: Create a Parent Math Handbook

Why: Because this way parents have a reference

When: Give it out at the beginning of the year…Maybe during back to school night

What: A step by step handbook explaining the different types of algorithms, strategies, models and tools that the students will be using at each grade level
